Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sammy is a handsome, active, playful, sweet and friendly, three-year-old, 11-pound, male, tri-color Rat Terrier looking for a loving guardian. Sammy was returned to Chicago Animal Care and Control where he was adopted. He now has an ear flopped over, not sure if he was in a fight or had an ear infection. Sammy is very attentive and takes treats nicely from your fingers. He knows the command sit and will dance for treats. He is a super nice dog that you can pick up and hold. He appears to be housebroken. He loves balls and toys. Sammy is healthy, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, de-wormed and heartworm-tested. To meet and possibly adopt Sammy, please fill in the on-line adoption application at http://famousfidorescue.com/rescueforms/machform/view.php?id=26727 and follow up by contacting Gloria at fido@famousfidorescue.com or 773-907-0305. His adoption fee of $200 benefits the rescued pets of Famous Fido’s. Sammy is currently staying at rescue headquarters at 5430 N. Clark Street in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. Make an appointment to stop in and meet him and all the other adoptable dogs.
